Brief Summary  

Comparison of analgesic effect of different doses of Dexamethasone as an adjuvant to Bupivacaine in ultrasound guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block. Aim: To compare the analgesic effect of Dexamethasone 8mg Vs 4mg as an adjuvant to Bupivacaine in ultrasound guided Supraclavicular brachial plexus block. Study design: Prospective, observational, randomised comparative double blinded study. Materials and Methods: thirty six patients will be divided into three groups, 12 patients each. Group D8 will receive bupivacaine 0.5% 20 mL + dexamethasone 8mg 2 mL, group D4 will receive Bupivacaine 0.5% 20 ml + dexamethasone 4mg 1ml+ 1ml NS and group B will receive 20 ml Bupivacaine + 2ml NS. We will compare the onset of sensory and motor blocks, duration of analgesia and incidence of complications.
